The client
The client on this photoshoot is Christine Stamouli, a well known architect based in the Peloponnese.
Christine was assigned with the project of furnishing and completing the external facade of the property.
Her approach was to "break" the intense verticality of the building and balance it with some clean horizontal lines. This addition balanced out the exterior as well as created a more welcoming environment, providing shade in the summer months.
The Photographer's Approach
When it comes to horizontal and vertical lines and the shades that form around a building, especially under the harsh greek sun, I need to make sure that i have an overview of how the property looks at all times of day.
This allows for many dynamic photo opportunities in different light, that enhanced and gave prominence to the character of the space.
When it comes to colour, it was also very important for Christine that the various shades of green she had picked for the project's nature blended well with the shade of the stone elements of the property.
Highlighting the earthy tones and uniformity of the exterior's design with the natural environment surrounding it, became the main focus of my work for this project.
The Client's Vision
Christine wanted to turn a simple house into an inviting and thought provoking property that was considered and elegant.
The careful selection of colours, materials and fitting, helped transform this house into a welcoming vacation residence.
